The primary objective of all terminals is to reduce the truck’s waiting time via smoothing the gate activities i.e. to prevent the gate from being a bottleneck.The time spent in waiting to enter the terminal is a consequence for the port performance.
Terminal operating systems with an integrated BI solution enable the terminal executive to manage truck and container movements at terminals, which integrate gate, yard and quay operations.
BI Solution designed especially for terminals, with right Dashboards, KPIs and Analytical Cubes will help to analyze collective truck turnaround time which helps in reducing truck idling times.
The gate, yard, quay are the most important activity sectors that take place in container terminals.
Gate Sector:
BI tool gives an analysis of gate wise truck turnaround time (in time and out time of truck), how many containers have been handled by each gate and also gives an alert if the truck wait time exceeds from the target wait time .
On a Weekly basis, each terminal reports the average in-terminal truck turn time. The average gate turn time is defined as gate in time to gate out time, in other words, how long the trucker is actually in the terminal. This measure does not include any time spent waiting outside of the gate before entry.
The below dashboard shows truck wait time (Real time) analysis:

Yard Sector:
BI solution helps to give an analysis of the loading and unloading of containers (full or empty) on terminal trucks in the yard, provide information of container tracking.
